I am an MSc graduate currently seeking employment as a space engineer.

I have a fascination with aircraft, spacecraft and space engineering, and to this end I have undertaken various studies in this field. I attended the University of Sydney to gain a Bachelor of Engineering in aeronautical and space engineering. After completion of my first degree I began studying at Cranfield University, and have now completed a Master’s of Science in astronautics and space engineering.

I am very keen to work within the space industry within the UK and Europe. The atmosphere of international partnership and cooperation within this industry is particularly appealing as I enjoy the opportunity to work with colleagues from various backgrounds. I have a lot of exposure to this in both my undergraduate and Master’s degree programs as I studied and worked with many international colleagues. I believe the space industry in the United Kingdom shows a large amount of growth and will embark on great projects and missions now and in the future.

I am excited by the prospect of working within a team of engineers to solve various problems. I am interested in further developing my skills in project management and team management. I find spacecraft systems engineering and its relation to all levels of mission design interesting, and hope to use my systems engineering knowledge to tackle and help solve any problem at hand. During my degree programs I have participated in many group projects involving the design of space missions, from the top systems level down to the individual subsystem level. Two major projects are the design of an Earth-orbiting cubesat (BEng) and an unmanned scientific mission to Saturn’s moon Titan (MSc).

I am a hard working and committed person, and aim to excel in all tasks set before me. I have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and I am a great team member. I am fluent in English, which is my first language. I hold dual British and Australian citizenship and am fully entitled to live and work within the UK and the EU.

Attached to this letter is a copy of my curriculum vitae, which I hope will provide you with any information you require. I would like to thank you for your time in considering myself for a position at your company, and I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Sincerely

Nationality: British and Australian

Career statement

I am a focused and motivated space engineer with the goal to work on space mission design and analysis. I am eager to work within a team of international colleagues, as I believe that different educational and social backgrounds can provide great returns to a project and to the individual. I believe that I can offer a great deal to any project because I take an active role in team and project management.

Design of an unmanned scientific mission to Titan, involving working closely within a team of engineers. My roles included orbiter AOCS design, navigation and deployment of surface and air vehicles upon approach to Titan, and end of life disposal for the orbiter and transfer vehicle.

Prize for ‘Exemplary Application in Secular Subjects’, Academic award in final year
